A Couple Handmade Cards

My heart has drawn close to my California friends the past few days. I haven’t seen some of my pals in almost 6 months. Honestly, when I left California and moved to Idaho, I thought I would visit California much more than I have.

I really miss my girlfriends in California. I think this is why “friendship” seems to be the theme of my cards lately.

My life is blessed with amazing friendships. Near and far…new friends, old friends, best friends, blog friends. Every single friendship is dear to me and special in their own way.

Thank you so much, my dear bloggy friends, for visiting often and sharing your sweet comments and emails! Your uplifting and sweet notes always brighten my day and mean so much to me!

xoxo, Christie

I love the new Cosmo Cricket Lines! I couldn’t wait to cut into the “Joy Ride” paper.

Last Sunday I took some photos of my brother, Seth and his wife, Kristin. They’re expecting their first baby (my first nephew) in just three weeks! I’m so excited!

What made me even more excited? When I printed out the above photos of Seth and Kristin, the colors in the photos matched the Cosmo paper perfectly! I didn’t really bother me that “Joy Ride” is a travel line, I made it work for the layout…

I especially like the “you are here” tag right above Kristin’s belly. Fun!

The little details? Here’s a peek:

Seth and Kristin are such a cute couple. It was so fun to take photos of them. If it wasn’t so cold we probably would have stayed out longer.

Here’s a few more photos…
